Dublin rocktronica merchants – their description, not ours! – God Is An Astronaut give their All Is Violent, All Is Bright album a live airing when they play Cyprus Avenue, Cork (February 25) and the Temple Bar Music Centre, Dublin (March 4).

Joining them onstage is Fearghal McKee, the former Whipping Boy man who's been writing and recording with the God squad.

The first fruits of the liaison, 'What You Want To Start?', are being made available soon on www.fearghalmckee.com as a free download, with an album to follow in the summer.

Also on the Dublin bill are Rollers/Sparkers and The Clockwork Noise.
